What is a Tonsillectomy?

Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils, which are two lymphatic tissue pads located at the back of the throat. This procedure is commonly recommended for treating recurrent throat infections and obstructive sleep apnea.

Advanced Techniques We Use

Coblation Tonsillectomy: This method uses radiofrequency energy to dissolve the tonsils at a lower temperature than traditional cauterization, reducing tissue damage and postoperative pain.

Microdebrider Tonsillectomy: A technique that uses a rotary cutting tool to shave the tonsils, enhancing precision and control while minimizing bleeding.

Benefits of Our Approach

• Less Pain: Both techniques are associated with less postoperative pain and discomfort.
• Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience a quicker return to normal activities and diet.
• Reduced Bleeding: Improved surgical accuracy decreases the risk of bleeding.
• High Precision: Enhanced control during surgery increases the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
